RT @ClowESPN As streaks go in college football, @FSUFootball finishing in the Top 5 of the final AP poll for 14 straight seasons under @TheBobbyBowden from 1987-2000 is the hallmark of consistency. Even Alabama with its incredible success under Nick Saban has only done it four straight years. pic.twitter.com/T8q5…

Geotag Workflow for Nikon D40 & AMOD AGL3080 for Mac

Workflow:Note: This workflow presumes you are already competent with the Nikon camera & AMOD GPS datalogger and further presumes that your camera's clock is in sync with the GPS clock. If your clocks are not in sync, you can flex within HoudahGeo, however, I am not referencing that adjustment.

This workflow will work with any iPhoto compatible image format, including JPG and RAW.

Connect AMOD to Mac via USB.

Connect Nikon D40 (or memory card reader) to Mac via USB.

Close iPhoto (optional, but recommended).

Launch HoudahGeo.

Drag and Drop photos onto HoudahGeo.

Click "LOAD GPS FROM FILE". Browse & import AMOD log file.

Presuming your clocks are in sync, HoudahGeo will now display Long/Lat/Alt information from your GPS track to correspond with each photo.

Click "WRITE EXIF/XMP/IPTC TAGS" to save the geo data to the photos.

Close HoudahGeo.

Import images into iPhoto. Each tagged image will be visibile in iPhoto Places.

This is a very simple workflow, one which I will likely automate further.

Please note that you can also manually geotag your images in HoudahGeo using a map overlay and/or Google Earth.

For a more detail example of how to import & tag using HoudahGeo, please see the screenshots and screencast provided by HoudahGeo.
